Accordingly, the User should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any information made available on the Website and should always obtain specific legal advice appropriate to their particular situation.
Mere access to, browsing of or contact through the Website does not establish any lawyer–client relationship, nor does it imply acceptance of a mandate, unless expressly agreed and formalized in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

The submission of information through the Website does not, in itself, result in the automatic acceptance of a mandate or the assumption of any obligation to act on the part of Belzuz.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, communications made through the Website are not sufficient, in themselves, to establish a lawyer–client relationship, nor do they amount to acceptance of a mandate, without prejudice to any duty of professional secrecy arising from the law or applicable deontological rules, where and to the extent that such duty is legally required.
